'uvention has reference to a l l; .-e; ess ininaces.

. "eless furnaces are vided with :1 rco'i. which the d air 1 es iroin the to ace into the is well V I. e rooin directly over th rurnace, and this heated air natura y rises to the ceiling and cir ulates the eover nd around the side walls before it is returned through the outer re 'istcr to be again hea d by the furnace. Beer use ll :1 type of furnace does not properly diil air around the room xoc heated the sarne have to a great extent been proved unsatisfactory and it may, therefore be considered the primary object of this invention to provide heat regulator that includes a fiat plate having round opening and being provided on its upper face with a semiconical air deflector and distributor that is disposed over one-half of the opening through the plate... so that the heat from the furnace passing through this member will be directed through the open mouth thereon the plate being! of a size to cover the return air inlet or register for the furnace at the part thereof opposite the heat outlet of the register so that the heat will be directed downwardly as well as upwardly and against one side of the room, so that the heat will circulate around. the entire room before it can return through the exposed part of the register, with the result that a better circulation oi warm air and better heated room is afforded.

The drawings which accompany and "form part of this application illustrate a satisfactory embodiment of my improvement, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the improve inent showingthe same in applied position.

Figure 2 is an edge view thereof looking toward the open end of the deflector.

Figure 3 is a central longitudinal sectional view approximately on the line 33 of Figure 2.

In Figure l. of the drawings 1 have illustrated the register in the room above the outlet or a pipeless furnace. The central grating of the register 1, through which the hot air passes from the furnace, is in the usual manner, surrounded by the grating 2 Serial No. 195,845.

through which the air is returned to the J! l oat a size to restover and cover a part of grating The plate is tormed with a round opening l, and this opening is disposed over the hot air outlet grating l ot the register. The plate 3, has one of its ends rounded to provide an edge which is concentric with the round opening 4 there- 'thronn'h. and this rounded portion of the plate for distinction indicated by the numoral 5 and the edges of the rounded wall are concavcd toward. the edges of the plate proper. as clearly disclosed by the drawings. The portion 5 may be termed a rim for the plate I and this rim is disposed to partly cover the grating: 2. The inner edge of the rim formed with an upwardly directed deliector 6. The deflector is of a substantially somi-irusto conical formation the same bein tiered downwardly from its apex 7 to its juncture with the plate 3. The open taco of the deflector of course, directed toward the end 8 ol the plate opposite that provided with the rim 5 and the deflector has arranged thereon a handle portion 9.

l i'ith the ordinary type of pipeless tin: naces the heat rises vertically through the grating l of the register and in order to obtain warmth therefrom a person must place himself directly over this grating. l Vith my improvement the currents of warm air are contacted by the deflector 6 and di rooted outwardly through the mouth thereoi and from thence the (rm-rents of such warm air will be directed around the entire surface of the room before returning to the furnace through the grating In this man nor it will be seen that the heat currents are directed both upwardly and downwardly to one side of the room and from thence up to the ceiling and then across and down on the op 'iosite side so that occupants of the room even when seated opposite the outlet mo th of the director member 6 Will be suflicicntly v-iarincd by the continuous circulation (it the air.

It believed the simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof will be unuersl'ood and appreciated by those skilled in the art to which such invention relates without further detailed description.

l'lavingg' described the invention, I claim 1 1. A deflector for the heat currents from the warm air outlet grate in the center oi improvement comprises ajtla't plate 3 through and having a round rim arranged outward of the opening and the edges of the rim concaved to the juncture of the rim with the edges of the plat-e, a deflector having its edge attached to the rim and coverin onehalf of the opening in the plate, said defleetor comprising a member which is flared from its central portion dowimnrdly to its juncture with the plate and :1 handle on said deflector.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
